[QUOTE="CJG, post: 674713, member: 26579"] Tiylu, Don't let the maintenance concern you too much, most of it is really easy. Basically the only difference maintenance-wise between a two-stroke and your XR is that you have to mix your gas and oil and you will need to replace the top-end more frequently(about once per year depending on how much you ride). Jetting is an issue with both two and four strokes, so that shouldn't concern you too much. You might need to rejet for winter riding(It's really easy, you would probably just need to go with a slightly richer main and pilot), but it may not be absolutely necessary depending on your conditions. You will probably never find a bike more bulletproof than an XR, but two-strokes are not as high-maintenance as you might think(I personally think they're easier to maintain than modern high-performance four-strokes). Plus, if you need help with something you can always just come here and ask. Good Luck. P.S.- If your friends are fouling plugs then they probably just need to rejet(if the plug is wet and black, they're running too rich and need to lean out the jetting a bit). If they're breaking things then they either need to quit wrecking so much or take care of their bikes better. ;) [/QUOTE]
